L'unico accorgimento da prendere in aggiunta a tale articolo è che ho messo a false la proprietà abilitato.

New-TransportRule -Name ExternalDisclaimer -Enabled $false -SentToScope 'NotInOrganization' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerLocation 'Append' -ApplyHtmlDisclaimerText "

Disclaimer Title

This is the disclaimer text.

SQLDMO.DLL

A customer application needs to administer a SQL2000 server. If you want to run that administration utility from a pc on wich you don't have SQL Server installed you get an error stating you don't have SQLDMO.DLL registered.

To have it registered you can follow these instrucions:

http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B248241&x=17&y=8

Remember you can find the dll in the folloqing folder:

%Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn

Perhaps you may want to recreate this path in the local machine.

SBS 2008 Fax Server Disabled

Hi, this one was a rather annoying problem, as it seemed to be a client issue but it was not. I struggled to find clues on the internet, and none helped me. Since i solved it on my own I'd like to share... you can never know.

Symptoms:

• Clients cannot send faxes with Archive media error. You change the archiviation folder in client settings, but nothing happens.
  
• The fax server doesn't send or receive anything. Looking at the properties you find that all activities are disabled (general tab). If you try to remove the disable flags you receive an "Unexpected error".
  
• In the event viewer you find an "Access Denied" error related to the archiviation folder.
  You try to change the archiviation folder on the server, but the Browse button is greyed out. If you run the Fax Management Console with elevated privileges you can browse the folders, but whatever folder you choose you receive an Access Denied error.
  

Solution:

As a matter of fact the Fax service cannot get access ti the archive folder or to the configuration data, so it becomes disabled. I don't know why it worked before but in order to make it work again I had to change the Connection properties of the Fax service from Network Account to Local System Account. After restarting the service i got access to the archive folder and could reactivate services.

hope this helps

Error 404.17 opening *.asmx page

Symptoms:

You have an application working with IIS 7 and .Net Framework 1.1.
When you browse a .asmx page you get error 404.17 :

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not FoundThe requested content appears to be script and will not be served by thestatic file handler.

Problem:
The site is not propely configured to handle Asp.Net extensions.

Solution:
In IIS Manager click on the problematic site.
Under "Handler Mappings" find the association for the asmx extesion.
If it is missing you can force inheritance from the father site or server by clicking "Restore Inheritance". Now, if you can see the mapping with the correct .net dll (verify the path to the right framework folder) th page should be correctly opened.
If not, invesigate the parent's Mappings.

Schedule expressmaint backup in 2008 Server

In order to succesfully schedule an sql backup batch witch expressmaint utility you must ensure that the following conditions are true.

- Choose an administrative account to run the batch
- make sure it has full control file system permissions on the folders containing the batch file and the destination folder
- choose a destination folder with no spaces, and avoid using " in the batch file.
- since expressmaint uses the launching user credentials to connect to the sql server, make sure that the windows user credentials under which you run the batch have full permissions on the sql dbs (use sql management studio to add/configure the windows account under the security section).
- Unless you specify the "Start in..." option when you select the script to run you must specify the full path to executable file in the batch file (e.g. c:\batch\expressmaint -S ecc..)

HP Proliant ML150 G6 Embedded RAID and 2008 x64

Symptom: When you enable RAID mode in embedded Sata controller on a Proliant ML150 G6 server you cannot install 2008 server x64 because of an "unsigned drivers" error.
Downloading latest x64 drivers from HP support & software site does not help.

Workaround that work(around)ed for me:

1) Install windows server 2003 (32 or 64 bit) from any media you have, and don't activate it (it is just a jumping platform).

2) Insert your 2008 server setup dvd and launch the setup from 2003 server console.

3) I needed to install MAPS Program Software, so upgrade choice was greyed out.

4) During setup you can see the raid logical drive, thanks to 2003 drivers loaded.

5) Anyway I loaded additional latest x64 drivers from hp, getting the annoying warning about unsigned drivers.

6) After setup completed I rebooted and got a stop stating that a fundamental system driver was missing or corrupt.

The path to the file was:

C:\SWINDOWS.~BT\Windows\system32\drivers\hpahcisr.sys

Rebooting using F8 options to ignore unsigned drivers warning leads to the same stop.

7) I Rebooted into 2003 server and got to the path specified.
The version was 8(something) for both 32 and 64 bit.

8) I Downloaded from HP Support site the latest drivers for embedded SAS RAID memory controller for the OS 2003 Server 32bit (english version):
Version: 6.6.0.32 Build 8 (x86)
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=it&cc=it&prodNameId=3884324&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=3884323&swEnvOID=1005&taskId=135&swLang=13#113100

9)Copied it over x64 hpahcisr.sys in setup directory listed above.

10) Rebooted, et voilà. Setup continues and leads to a bootable 2008 x64 OS.

Open questions:
a) I don't know if loading directly those 32bit drivers in step 5 will avoid the manual copy in 2003 environment.

b) why hp has not resolved the issue, which in their support site forums dates back from the initial release of this ML150 G6 server?

Well enough, the goal is reached, and I can start using that proliant mate.

Bye,

Raf
